I was 78 as of this September (2014), & am healthy and with unimpaired mind and memory, untroubled by beliefs I once held and investigated until they collapsed, so that wider and deeper understanding took their place. It is liberating to defend the facts and truth that have been made known to me. [I was for many years the national leader of Sai Baba's organization in Norway] I have a duty to aid those who Sai Baba deceived as I once promoted him. Many have contacted me for advice.

The number of gurus in India who are clearly imitating the logos, style, behaviour, bhajan (women and men apart) and arathi sessions of Sathya Sai Baba (right down to the same hand movements) continues to surprise. Here is a particularly unimpressive young actor who portrays the young Sai Baba. His appearance is not very Indian, so his origins will be interesting (if ever known) At least he lacks the essential ‘Prema Sai’ look. He appears more like a painted doll than the person he would represent

NB! See comment reproduced below the images:-

When I posted this I thought he was pretending to be a guru, not knowing he was an actor. Fortunately one of those who follow this blogs set the record straight:-

That kid isn’t an impostor, Robert. He’s just a child actor in one of those atrocious biographical movies eulogizing sathya sai.

The part about ‘icon intimidation’ and ‘victim selection’ are spot on. (fom godz.buzy.how.can.i.help.you@gmail.com)
——–Thanks for the information. I stand corrected, but in the mad world of Indian gurus one can be excused for believing him to be another claimant. Who could make such a dreadful parody of a guru. Why did they have to “white-up” the actor?

The Daily Beast article is yet another sound analysis and it is highly applicable in the case of Sathya Sai Baba, of course.
